The Evolution of the Petticoat

[Scott]

May come off as odd,being male,but I simply adore them. The romanticism....the utter whimsy. Not sure if they're a "trend",really....except maybe amongst Goth's. Here are a few looks I found-vinatge and otherwise with a few designer interpretations:

I love them. I've a white one that I almost never wear... goths gave them a bad rep.

Funny, just a couple hours ago in the Victorian thread, I posted the CdG version of the petticoat -- pants Talk about evolution.

I'm male too, but I love them as well, a lot! Thanks for bringing them up Scott

I like men with a developed female side One day it will be a trend.

Where does the word petticoat come from, it's not exactly what you call a coat is it?

 

[Scott]

Oh,thank you perle Dale,it really is nice to see another guy not afraid of his femme fantasies

Petticoat.....I am not sure how the term was derived. Perhaps,initially was a one-piece??

Strawberry,you've got such original taste...wouldn't dare let that little cliché bother me. Pull it back out!

Seraphelle,that reminds me....Lutz also did a completely different interpretation in the form of a long wrapping scarf in his S/S 05 collection-

Robert Cary-Williams-

The acid yellow!!

All the vintage stores around here are selling them. I bought one in powder blue. <3

I love the idea of putting a very full petticoat (like the purple one in the first post) under a shorter, very fitted pencil skirt so that you have this kind of restrained volume. Tight to the knee and then an eruption of ruffles and movement.

[utopia]

[Spike413]

I'm not normally a fan of hers but I really like this Betsey Johnson dress, and it certainly fits the thread.
